- Coffee Script is a digital version of R. Middleton’s Wave design for the Ludlow foundry, circa 1962. Strong elegance is rarely found in digital type, so the original design was tweaked to reach that end, with a bit more darkness for strength and more pronounced curves for elegance.
- The idea for Jackpot came from a photo type called Cooper Playbill, which as the name implies was simply a westernized version of Cooper Black. It is strange that the font designers of the 1980s and 1990s never found the attraction of such a concept. We think it's simply marvelous and quite ideal for communicating special great American times and ideas.
- The Morris Benton 1918 American classic, Announcement Roman, comes to digital life with more pizzazz than it ever had. Named after the Swan Lake princess, Odette is the ideal choice for titling, poetry, advertising, poster design, and branding anything feminine in nature or target market. The serifs on this elegant typeface were each drawn individually, without resorting to mechanical copy-and-paste methodology. This makes it set like real type, with friendly quirks and curls that sway gently before the eyes. The majuscules have a very slight inclination to the right, that gives the proper type setting a friendlier appearance and a bonding connection with the reader.
